Photographer's Note

This is another shot of Rossnowlagh Beach in Donegal. I was here with my sister-in-law ostensibly for a walk along the beach, but in reality there for an Irish Coffee in the Sandhouse which is a lovely hotel/pub right on the beach. The title of this photo is a nod to the movie Fitzcarraldo and also to a song of the same name by the Irish band The Frames.

Hi Lisa- the Champion of seascapes.. the early bird who captures the best sunrises.. the beauty and tranquility of an early morning is so well captured in this image.. What a wonderful time of the day when the rest of the world sleeps. well done and trust that you are well.. Rich

Ciao cara Lisa,
It is amazing that you have family everywhere, Italy, Australia, Ireland. You do not need itchy feet, just visit family. Amaying sunset (or sunrise). simple composition, only sea and sky, but what colours and sharpness.
I would prefer just walking than Irish Coffee. I do not remember why I once tried it. It was stupid of me as I do not drink alkohol nor coffee. and I felt like dead after it. have a nice evening

Hi Lisa
what a great place to just sit and drink coffee. So tranquil and peaceful. Love the light and the ripples are so distinctive and undulate you towards the beautiful sunset. A captivating image and an accomplished execution.

Hi Lisa
The pattern of the clouds and the intensity of the sunrise make for a dramatic scenic coastal shot over the textured beach at low tide. An invigorating way to enjoy the great moment really. Its very artistically created a superb rendition of this image in fine details, lovely light, perspective and the composition is just right. The striking foreground adds to this cheery image. A glorious beachscape, well taken. Great work, Congrats
Best regards

I must go to Ireland to get those "folds" in the water!
What a sunset! both the sea and the sky are gorgeous and create a unique fantastic atmosphere. love the composition, so simple and so essential!
Well , you know, this is a thing which only sea lovers like ourselves can appreciate!
Brava Lisa, this is just pure beauty.

Do you know the origin of this name "Fitzcarraldo"? I heard about the film but never saw it. Is it a family name, Irish maybe?

I couldn't write anything yesterday, as I had nothing to show.
It is probably one of the simplest image you present to us in resent days. This time the countless number of horizontal lines attract us. From the beach to the horizon, and yet further to the sun, all nicely packaged in one. It is a Very very last moment of the sunset. Reflection on the clouds is like a painting. It is a very romantic photo. Tranquility surround the viewers.

Really Lisa, the sea in Ireland looks a bit different from other places...
A nice take with "layeres" of sea-waves, in a nice sunset time.
Song in the attachement - most pleasent, excelent harmony, I listened.
Good morning Australia - good night from Israel.

Ciao Lisa,
Last weekend I have spent in Donegal. Third time is a charm means it was not raining this time. It is surely one of the most beautiful places in Ireland and especially so in a good sunlight when the colors are stunning. I went for a sunset to a beautiful Donegal beach but unfortunately the clouds were very dense in the evening and nothing came out of that. So I am very jealous for this shot. It seems like a perfect sky with a slight touch of clouds. You have well used the opportunity here. Very simple yet so impressive. I like the three layered composition.
Very well done,
M
